This movie is not about Edmund Kemper

Virtually none of the facts surrounding Kemper's life, crimes, or psychosis are included in this movie titled "Kemper". He wasn't even portrayed correctly physically. The real Edmund Kemper is a bear of a man, standing 6'9" & weighing 280-300 lbs, and was 24 years old at the time of his arrest. The movie portrays him as a middle-aged man of average height.

If the hacks making this film had at least attempted to examine, even superficially, the abnormal & deviant psychological impulses behind (the real) Kemper's monstrous crimes this movie would've had at least some merit. As it is, this rancid little turd of a movie attempts little more than to shamelessly cash in on the notoriety & infamy of a serial killer without actually telling the story of said killer.

It has nothing to do with him.

I agree. What a load of garbage this movie is. I can't believe they wasted the money, time, and energy to make it. How stupid and ignorant are these people that they even had cell phones and laptop computers!?! It would be laughable if it wasn't such a tragic story. This movie is an insult to those who lost their lives, and their loved ones. The film makers showed no care over the victims or their families and friends. Completely callous.
